If you having dinner with four people and one answers a cell and then proceeds to talk and talk about the upcoming weekend (weather and all) , is it justified that
A: the phone should be pushed into the person's left ear.
B: the inviting pair (that's us) should get up and leave.
C: grow up. It's 2004, so what if you can't have a conversation while the cretin raves on, eat your salad.
D: Sit quietly. Eat. Drink. Resolve never to be seen again within fifty feet of said person.
E: Suddenly, a shot rang out, a woman's screamed, a dog barked in the distance, then all was quiet. There was dessert and the waiter said he would take care of the problem.

sorry, i can't anser bcos its not in poll-form...
It's always best to leave before the shots ring out so I'd have to say a combo of "B" and "E".
I'm more of an eye-roller in response to that.
mulling
Just realized I haven't agreed to share another meal with the last person who answered a cell phone during a meal.
B is fairly tempting. If they later ask why you left, you could say that you wanted to give him some privacy for his phone call.
I choose F. Quietly tell the waiter to spit in his/her food.
ebeth Yah. That's about right, I've been way tooooo busy.
My beloved spouse L once went shopping with a friend who started talking to someone on her cell in the middle of the store...... after about ten minutes, L just left her there, talking, while looking at her bangs in the mirror.......

better! thanks joe
A & D, but i'll say D.
why make a scene? its bad for the digestion...
G. Cover him with a can of silly string...I think he'll get the message.
I just get tired of being the one with the social skills.
Am I the only one who invites the self-involved to dinner?
You're just too nice to cook them and eat them Joe. The best thing about the self-involved is that they never know that they are actually the main course. If you tell them that, even directly, they just think they'll be the center of attention.
I'd like to answer, but just this very moment someone called me on my cellphone ...
I voted for the ear option. If they have an iPod or a Blackberry, either should fit nicely in the other ear.
I voted "E," but I must agree with fishin that an escape route should be planned...just in case the waiter doesn't have a sense of humor or a sense of etiquette.
My physician's office has a LARGE sign: "Please turn off cell phones during consultation with the doctor." Egads, when such a plea must be posted, we've really gone one toke over the line. "Hello?"... "Oh, hi! Nothin' much. I'm in the doctor's office and she's saying something about if I don't do something or other I'm going to die within two months. So...how's the lunch with your boss going?"
There you go Joe, thanks to hiyall...hang a large sign in the dining room saying turn off cell phones before dinner is served.

Better yet, just wound him, invite him out again, then kill him and laugh heartedly.
